Actually you are wrong.  Trump has applied for every government program and tax break available to him for decades.  According to him, this makes him a smart person.  Trump is nothing but a welfare queen.

Maybe you don't care but Trump does.  He said so himself.  It's obvious he is hiding something…..that's what HE said.

Can you show where he said that? I don't recall him saying that.

He said it right here.  Certainly if these words applied to the last President then they apply to the current President too.

"Why does Obama believe he shouldn't comply with record releases that his predecessors did of their own volition? Hiding something?"

Trump will never do that.  His own wife spit all over Americans when she worked here illegally.

What are you saying Trump will never do? It's not clear to me from the context.

Trump will never eliminate illegal immigration.

1. He married a woman who spit all over Americans when she worked here illegally.
2. You can't grow the economy if you reduce the population.  Immigrants (legal and illegal) buy things.

Trump's tax returns have been audited every year for decades.  Obviously if there was something wrong, it would have been found.  It has not.  The audits are still going on.  He said he would gladly release all his returns when the audits are over, but only a fool would release their tax returns while they are being audited.  In fact, any lawyer or accountant working on Trump's finances would quit if their client released their tax returns while an audit was going on.

Is that so hard for you to understand?

He could have released the 2016 returns.  Those are not under audit.  He filed an extension last spring.  I'm not sure if they have been filed by now but they certainly were not under audit since they had not been filed.

Most people accept that what a person says before they are elected into public office isn't an indication of how they're going to govern. The Alabama rally Trump recently spoke at, which started this last NFL spat, is a good example. In calling the NFL kneelers "sons of bitches" he was speaking only to his base and that is what his base came to hear.

Trump is different.  He promised us that he wasn't a politician and he wouldn't behave like one.  For the last nine months all we have seen is him copying everything Obama did.

The black guys peacefully protesting are "son of bitches" but the white Nazis are "fine people"….....tell me again he isn't a racist.....

Here are some of Trumps statements on Executive Orders.

“You know, it’s supposed to be negotiated. You’re supposed to cajole, get people in a room, you have Republicans, Democrats, you’re supposed to get together and pass a law. [Obama] doesn’t want to do that because it’s too much work. So he doesn’t want to work too hard. He wants to go back and play golf.”“The country wasn’t based on executive orders,” said Trump at a town hall in South Carolina in February 2016.

“Right now, Obama goes around signing executive orders. He can’t even get along with the Democrats, and he goes around signing all these executive orders. It’s a basic disaster. You can’t do it.”

“The problem with Washington, they don’t make deals. It’s all gridlock. And then you have a president that signs executive orders because he can’t get anything done. I’ll get everybody together.”

“He doesn’t work the system. That is why he signs executive orders all the time because he can’t get his own people to go along.”

“Right now, we have an executive-order president. He just keeps signing.”

“Why is @BarackObama constantly issuing executive orders that are major power grabs of authority?”

“I hate what Obama does with gun legislation. He doesn't talk to anybody. He goes out and signs executive orders. In theory you're supposed to the old fashioned way, get everybody into a room and get something people agree on.”

“I don't think [Obama] even tries anymore. I think he just signs executive actions.”

“Nobody wants to listen to [Obama], including the Democrats, so he just goes around signing executive orders.”

Exactly.  That is why executive orders are a LAST resort for Trump.. while they were the FIRST resort for Obama. 
Congress failed to come up with ANY healthcare legislation, so Trump has to do it himself.  Trump has said the legislature should do it, not an executive order.. but since the legislature didn't do it and there is no more time, Trump has to do it.

Actually he said this:

“You know, it’s supposed to be negotiated. You’re supposed to cajole, get people in a room, you have Republicans, Democrats, you’re supposed to get together and pass a law. [Obama] doesn’t want to do that because it’s too much work. So he doesn’t want to work too hard. He wants to go back and play golf.”“The country wasn’t based on executive orders,” said Trump at a town hall in South Carolina in February 2016.

Why doesn't he try to make a deal?  That's what he claims to be good at.

So you think you should only get government subsidies if you promise not to exercise your first amendment rights?  Once again, I urge you to move to North Korea.  You would really like it there.

Maybe you don't care but Trump does.  He said so himself.  It's obvious he is hiding something…..that's what HE said.

I wonder if we will ever see Trumps tax returns.

Here is what Trump has to say about this very important issue:

Take the non-tax payers out of the system – no more illegal immigrants eating up services.

This would put us all in danger.  Do you really want immigrants running around with contagious diseases?  We will all be sick…..

I want to cut ILLEGAL immigration to zero. Honestly, I'm not pro-wall, but not against the government building one, either. (I always thought a workers exchange program would protect the peoples crossing the border, something like they had in the 50's.) So what I mean is that illegal immigrants should not have access to health care unless they pay for it. If some US citizens get sick, that might incentivize voters to push for stricter border control.

My father's family immigrated to the US from Portugal between the 50's and 60's. Once one member was in, the whole family, all 13 brothers and sisters, their wives and children, were allowed it. I love my family but I recognize that they took advantage of a great kindness extended by the US as those older aunts and uncles needed a lot of medical care when they came over – a lot. Because of SSI, Medical, Medicaid their health care was all free. These people were in the US legally, so if you tack on the illegals the cost to tax payers grows even more.

In my families case, every single child (all of my cousins) pay taxes. A good many started their own companies, too. But illegal immigrants don't pay anything into the system, so they should be excluded, cold-hearted as that may sound.

@Frederik, I work at an international high school in Japan. Once a year they take our second year students (eleventh grade US) abroad. The students used to be taken to Los Angeles. A few years back, a few of the girls snuck out of the hotel and somehow got booze. The next morning they had their first hangover. Japan being Japan, they took them to the hospital for an IV and to double check that they were okay. The hospital didn't  recognize the Japanese health insurance and demanded 5000USD up front to even see them.

The teachers paid the money (and were later reimbursed through Japanese health care) and the fees took all that money.

The board of education canceled all school trips to the US, permanently. If schools go there now, they are private.

Trump will never do that.  His own wife spit all over Americans when she worked here illegally.

Is it fun responding to yourself?

So he is going to solve healthcare with an executive order? You are ok with this?

We have been over this.  "Selling across state lines" isn't a real concept.  It's dead on arrival.  Doctors won't do it.  Insurers won't do it.  It's not going to happen.

@cteavin:

Incentive doctors and hospitals for healthy patients. The profit is in keeping them sick and pill-addicted.

That's exactly what ObamaCare did with the creation of ACO's.  Five years later and only 10 states have active ACO's and 13 more are in the works.  The other 27 have absolutely nothing.  States don't want to run healthcare. That  is why the Federal government stepped in.

@Frederick:

John McCain has always been an idiot.

So it is your belief that Conservatives nominate idiots to be President?  Hmmm…..

I'm simply agreeing with what the Republicans want for America.  They want ObamaCare.  They LOVE it.

Republicans have once again shown us how much they love ObamaCare.  They lied to the American people for 7 years.  They never had any intention on repealing it.  ObamaCare is the best they can do for a healthcare plan.  There is nothing better except single payer and they aren't going to allow that…...yet.

@royalcrown89:

Threatening to throw people's sick children off of their health insurance is not a very good strategy. The ads will basically write themselves and the Republicans will continue to dig themselves into a deep ditch that they will not be able to climb out of in 2018. The fact is that the president promised universal healthcare during the campaign and now he's advocating to literally kill people with serious pre-existing conditions. He's a lying coward and this is one of the many issues that proves he's a lying coward.

Earlier today, Trump blocked a sick cancer patient on Twitter who has been critical of an ObamaCare repeal since she will die without healthcare.

Democrats have flipped six red seats and turned them into blue states. People already realize that they made a huge mistake last November.  Republicans haven't flipped any seats.

I was not aware of that.  Perhaps you could list what six seats you are referring to?
Also.. there might be some blue seats turning red once the corruption in New Hampshire is sorted out.  Seems their election has been proven to be fraudulent.

The facts are right here.  Six seats have been flipped to blue.

As for NH, there isn't a shred of evidence of voter fraud in NH.  Actually if you do believe there was massive fraud then we can finally put the voter ID discussion to rest.  Voter ID's DO NOT work.  You have to show an ID to vote there.

The reason for these ridiculous accusations are because bus loads of students came to NH to vote.  This happens every major election because there are tens of thousands of NH residents who go to college down in Boston.  They bus the kids up their to vote.  There is nothing illegal about it.
